Relief From Tooth Pain Starts Here
What Causes Tooth Pain?
There are numerous potential origins of tooth pain, and its presence is nearly always an indication that some form of dental issue requires evaluation. Among the more frequently encountered causes are decay, a fractured tooth, root exposure, a compromised filling, or an infection that has progressed to the tooth’s inner pulp. Pain may also originate in the jaw or gums and present as tooth discomfort. Regardless of the underlying cause, Dr. Khatibian will assess the source of the problem and recommend a treatment approach suited to the specific condition.
What Is a Tooth Infection and Why Is It Serious?
When bacteria penetrate the inner tissue of a tooth or the surrounding gum, the result is a tooth infection, also referred to as a dental abscess. Without treatment, these infections do not clear up on their own and carry the risk of spreading to other parts of the body. Common indicators of a tooth infection include throbbing pain, swelling of the jaw or face, a persistent unpleasant taste in the mouth, fever, and sensitivity to pressure. Anyone experiencing these symptoms should seek dental care without delay.

Each step of the recommended procedure will be explained so that patients remain informed throughout their visit.
